Today’s recipe is from Deborah of Taste and Tell. Deborah is a super talented blogger. I especially love her feature called Blogger Spotlights where I get to learn more about my favorite bloggers. It is similar to my “a day in the life” series. She even featured me! It was so fun and I was so honored. Welcome, Deborah!
Since I was little, I always loved breakfast. I was spoiled with breakfast, too. My mom was a stay at home mom for most of my childhood, and we had 3 homemade meals every day. For six days of the week, we had a hot breakfast. The only day we were able to eat cold cereal was on Saturday morning, when we were allowed to get up as early as we wanted, get ourselves cold cereal for breakfast, and watch Saturday morning cartoons. But every other morning of the week, it was cream of wheat, or eggs, or pancakes.
My mom makes the best pancakes. She never really went away from the normal pancakes, but she made this delicious lemon sauce that was always my favorite. I always looked forward to pancake mornings – I think that was always my favorite!!
Today, I still love pancakes. I tend to branch out a little more – everything from Strawberry Pancakes to Corn Cake Pancakes to S’mores Pancakes. I love them all.
My other true breakfast love is muffins. I can’t get enough of them. So it was only natural for me to combine one of my favorite muffins – Morning Glory Muffins – with pancakes.
These Morning Glory Pancakes are chock full of all kinds of goodness – apples, carrots, coconut, raisins. My husband calls them “kitchen sink pancakes” because really, they are full of pretty much everything. But I think they are the perfect combination of flavors. A little bit sweet, but not over the top. And perfect for breakfast. I could happily enjoy pancakes like this for breakfast on a regular basis!!

Love this idea! I am going to try and adapt them to use oats instead of flour… we will see how it goes! Thank you for posting :)
